Thanks. But, how to I prevent Roxio, Quick Time, Palm, Messenger from starting when I initialize my computer?
As for HJT, if I fix the options you recommended, will I lose my Yahoo! Toolbar ? Because I use it a lot when on the web.
Thanks again, and waiting for a reply...

You shouldn't lose your yahoo toolbar by deleting what dlh recommended. When my computer was messing up, I had to remove some entries similar to what he told you to fix, and my yahoo toolbar was still there afterwards. :)

Go to your Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. In the list on the left side, find the name of the service you want to change; go over to the Startup Type column and change it from automatic to manual. Use the Blackviper website I gave earlier as a guide to settings. You should only change one or two at a time and run your system for a couple of days to make sure you haven't changed something you want.

HI, my computer is running smooth. Startup is still a little slow though, but I got rid of things like HotSync (Palm) and Roxio running on startup. But now there is always the Windows update icon in the tray by the clock, only it´s not uploading any updates??
Shouldn´t it not be there ??

Thanks crunchie. I now ran Norton Antivirus 2004 and found out I am infected by Adware.MyBar (although I don´t see any toolbar) + Adware.DealHelper. I also had Adware.BlazeFind but I managed to have Spybot Search & Destroy get rid of this. Why doesn´t NAV delete the adware ???
Damn adware!!!

I decided to take the "bad medicine" :mad:
I saved my personal files and then restored the original configuration that came with my PC (using the restoration disk). Then I reinstalled Spybot S&D and Ad-aware. And I installed Zone Alarm firewall. After that I downloaded a 30-day trial of NOD32 antivirus to compare with NAV 2004.
My system is smooth, much faster, no malware, etc... :lol: :lol:
Should I post another HJT log :?:

You shouldn't need to post another log unless you start having problems. Before you start having trouble, get all your Critical Updates from Windows Update (including SP2) and get SpywareBlaster (link in crunchie's signature or here: http://daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread5690.html), keep it updated and have it enable all protection.
